Sea-Air-Space 2016 Daily Video Coverage: Day 1 - Distributed Lethality
 
Navy Recognition's Day 1 video coverage at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space 2016 Exposition: Distributed Lethality. The distributed lethality concept was introduced (and is being advocated) by Vice Admiral Thomas Rowden, the Commander of the U.S. Navy's surface forces. It can be summarized by fitting more weapons on more vessels in order to "deceive the enemy, target the enemy, and destroy the enemy".
